Fresh off his role of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Callum Blue has landed the role of General Zod on The CW’s Smalliville according to The Hollywood Reporter. Zod will eventually become Superman’s arch nemesis, but what his relationship to a young Clark Kent will be has yet to be told. Lucky for us Callum signed on as a series regular so we will get to see it all play out throughout season 9 of the hit show!
I have so loved everything Callum has done since I first saw him on Dead Like Me, so I am so glad he is back on weekly TV! Plus in a role he is perfect for!

The CW announced when their fall shows will launch via Variety and I can’t wait for all their shows to return! Not only am I excited to watch the older shows, after watching Melrose Place and Vampire Diaries I am dying to watch those shows play out too. Melrose Place is not the same the show it was on Fox, it is so much better with a much hotter cast!!! My personal favorite is Michael Rady who plays Jonah Miller, but Shaun Sipos and Colin Egglesfield ain’t too bad either. Talking about eye candy, I am willing to let the guys of The Vampire Diaries suck on my neck anytime! Seriously The Vampire Diaries feels like you are watching a movie, but it is even better because unlike a movie that ends in 90 minutes this show will go on for at least 22 hours! This show so put a Vampire spell on me! I have yet to watch The Beautiful Life, but if it is anything like Melrose Place and The Vampire Diaries it is going to be way awesome!!!
UPDATE: I just watched The Beautiful Life and I honestly thought I was going to hate it, but I sincerely didn’t. The show is really likable even Mischa Barton is tolerable.
Mike Fleiss brings the expression “Sh!t or get off the pot” to long-term couples tonight on The CW. The new reality show gives couple who have been wishy-washy about getting married one week to get Hitched or Ditched.
I saw the first two episodes of the show and I liked what I saw so far. In one episode the couple have been together for four years and her dad really doesn’t like her fiance’. In the second episode the couple have been together for 10 years and it his parents that have reservations. It was interesting to watch these couple go from avoiding the big day to having a week to plan for it and decide if they should settle down. One couple will say I do and one will say I don’t, and I am not going to tell you which ones say what.
Tune into The CW at 9p every Tuesday for a show where couples who need to make a decision on their futures finally make one.
And don’t forget to check out the series(?) finale of Reaper at 8p.

“MELROSE PLACEâ€Â
In an elegant Spanish-style apartment building in the trendy Melrose neighborhood of Los Angeles, a diverse group of 20-somethings have formed a close-knit surrogate family. Sydney Andrews (Laura Leighton, the original “Melrose Placeâ€Â) is the landlady, still beautiful at 40, and a central figure in the lives of all her tenants, especially handsome and rebellious David Breck (Shaun Sipos, “Sharkâ€Â). Sydney started an affair with David despite her turbulent history with his estranged father, Dr. Michael Mancini (Thomas Calabro, the original “Melrose Placeâ€Â). Both father and son learned through experience that Sydney was not above using blackmail to control people. Another tenant, high-powered publicist Ella Simms (Katie Cassidy, “Supernaturalâ€Â), once considered Sydney her mentor, but their friendship was destroyed by betrayal, and Sydney threatened to evict Ella and ruin her career. Sydney also played a pivotal role in the career of Auggie Kirkpatrick (Colin Egglesfield, “All My Childrenâ€Â). After they met at an AA meeting, she became Auggie’s sponsor and encouraged his dream to become a chef. Now a successful sous chef at the trendy restaurant Coal, Auggie has been avoiding Sydney since she began drinking again. The other tenants include Lauren Yung (Stephanie Jacobsen, “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chroniclesâ€Â), a medical student in desperate need of money to pay her student loans, and Jonah Miller (Michael Rady, “Swingtownâ€Â), an aspiring filmmaker who has just proposed to his live-in girlfriend Riley Richmond (Jessica Lucas, “Cloverfieldâ€Â), a first-grade teacher. The newest tenant, 18-year-old Violet Foster (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, “7th Heavenâ€Â), has just arrived in LA with her own secret connection to Sydney. When a bloody body is found floating in the courtyard pool, David is the leading suspect. However, as the police are soon to discover, almost everyone living at Melrose Place had a reason to want the deceased out of the way. An updated version of the popular 1990s series.
“THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE†(New Series)
The life of a high-fashion model appears glamorous and sexy, but as every new model quickly learns, behind the beautiful façade is a world of insecurity and cutthroat competition. Two teenage models who are about to discover this world for themselves are Raina Collins (Sara Paxton, “Last House on the Leftâ€Â), a stunning beauty with a secret past, and Chris Andrews (Benjamin Hollingsworth, “The Lineâ€Â), a strikingly handsome Iowa farm boy. When Raina makes an unforgettable impression at a show introducing the new line from designer Zac Posen (appearing in a cameo role), she steals the spotlight from her friend Sonja (Mischa Barton, “The O.C.â€Â). Sonja has been out of the country for mysterious reasons and is now desperate to reclaim her standing as the reigning supermodel. While Raina and Sonja live at the top of the fashion food chain, Chris is starting at the bottom, having just been discovered by agent Simon Lockridge (newcomer Dusan Dukic) of the Covet Modeling Agency, which is owned by former supermodel Claudia Foster (Elle Macpherson, “Friendsâ€Â). At his first photo shoot, Chris’ inexperience almost derails his career until Raina comes to his rescue, showing him how to relax and work the camera. That afternoon, Raina brings Chris to the “models’ residence†where she lives along with other young hopefuls, including Marissa Delfina (Ashley Madekwe, “Secret Diary of a Call Girlâ€Â), Egan (Jordan Woolley, “As The World Turnsâ€Â), Issac (Corbin Bleu, “High School Musical 2â€Â) and the current alpha-male-model known as Kai (Nico Tortorella, “Twelveâ€Â). At an exclusive industry party that night, Chris is again impressed by Raina’s generosity when she steps aside to make sure Sonja lands a job that will resurrect her career. However, after an ugly scene with Simon, Chris is left to question whether he can survive in this world of dangerous excess and fleeting fame.
“THE VAMPIRE DIARIES†(New Series)
Four months after the tragic car accident that killed their parents, 17-year-old Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev, “DeGrassi: The Next Generationâ€Â) and her 15-year-old brother, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen, “Everwoodâ€Â) are still trying to cope with their grief and move on with their lives. Elena has always been the star student; beautiful, popular and involved with school and friends, but now she finds herself struggling to hide her sadness from the world. As the school year begins, Elena and her friends are fascinated by a handsome and mysterious new student, Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley, “Army Wivesâ€Â). Stefan and Elena are immediately drawn to one another, and Elena has no way of knowing that Stefan is a centuries-old vampire, struggling to live peacefully among humans, while his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder, “Lostâ€Â) is the embodiment of vampire violence and brutality. Now these two vampire brothers ââ€â‚¬ one good, one evil ââ€â‚¬ are at war for Elena’s soul and for the souls of her friends, family and all the residents of the small town of Mystic Falls, Virginia. Based on the series of books by L. J. Smith
Can’t make too many complaints about The CW’s new lineup! I am super excited to see Melrose Place 2.0, I really like the description how it all ties into Sydney! Sounds way good! Also it will be nice to have Lost’s Ian Somerhalder back on TV! The only thing I want to know is what did the Smallville producers do to piss off The CW to get the Friday night timeslot?
UPDATE: EW’s Michael Ausiello has a huge spoiler about Sydney’s role on MP 2.0. The body found in the pool is hers, and the first reason will revolve around who killed her. Laura Leighton will be in flashbacks only and I am looking to future and I love that storyline!!!
Here are the first clips from the show I am looking forward to most next season.
We are just days away from the network Upfronts, where we will find out which pilots will become shows! But we don’t have to wait until to Monday to find out if Fox picked up Absolutely Fabulous for the fall, thanks to Nikki Finke we are finding out that the pilot that never should’ve been won’t go any further than that!!! Seriously what was Fox thinking in the first place by trying to Americanize the brilliant British show? Thankfully the Grim Reaper got this show… On that note, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that The CW’s Reaper which seemed like a sure bet to be sent back to hell might actually live on for a third season. I watch this show (in fact I am watching it as I type) and even I was OK with the devil collecting this show’s soul. Maybe someone close to the show really did sell their soul to the devil because this show was lucky to see a second season let alone a third.
